2011: Kodak p3200 & Agfa APX25 & Xtol

[venchka]

Oh my. 2 rolls of p3200 hanging on the line. 20 rolls left. Alternating with 8 rolls of APX25. Alpha & Omega. Yen & Yang. 10 liters of Xtol & most of a liter of Rodial to spice things up. That.should keep me entertained during the coming year.
In case somebody asks, "What film to use for a year?"😎

 

[Freakscene]

I still have plenty of stored APX25. I doubt I'll be as altered in terms of how I work by the loss of any other material. Efke just wasn't/isn't the same. But Acros or TMX are a decent if not optimal substitute.

I wish inventory were reversed: 20 rolls of APX25 & 8 rolls of Tmax p3200.

for those who miss apx25:
a great film

shot @ asa12 in caffenol - hard to beat.

oh, and apx400 is back - good times.

Early Results:
Earl (Trius) is correct. Rodinal likes gentle, reduced, ingrequent agitation. Tmax p3200 in Rodinal 1:50 for 9 minutes @ 75F with continuous agitation is, how should I put this, interesting. I developed a third roll last night. Rodinal 1:100 @ 75F and let it sit for an hour. We shall see what happened tonight.

1 hour stand in Rodinal 1:100 @ 75F wasn't too terrible. I'm going back to Xtol for the rest of the Tmax 3200.
